绿、红相间花的植物成分、传统用法及药理活性的文献综述
《生药学研究》,2023,15,4636 -652. doi:10.5530/pres.15.4.067出版日期:2023年10月类型:综述作者:Omilla Ragavan, Sze Cheng Chan, Yi En Goh, Vuanghao Lim, Yoke Keong Yong作者:Omilla Ragavan1, Sze Cheng Chan1,2, Yi En Goh1,2, Vuanghao Lim3, Yoke Keong Yong1,* 1马来西亚雪兰州雪当市马来西亚布特拉大学医学与健康科学系人体解剖学系。2马来西亚莫纳什大学理学院,Jalan Lagoon Selatan, Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya,雪兰莪州,马来西亚3马来西亚圣士大学高级医学和牙科研究所,马来西亚槟城伯塔姆摘要/ Abstract摘要:苋科植物Alternanthera sessilis有Green (ASG)和Red (ASR)两种栽培品种。这两个品种都被认为具有很高的药用和营养价值,因为它们在传统医学中被广泛使用。来自亚洲不同地区的人们通常食用这种药用杂草作为饮食的一部分和治疗剂。一般来说,除了作为止痛药外,这两个品种已被用于治疗广泛的人类疾病,包括心血管疾病、糖尿病、高血压和炎症性疾病,如哮喘、支气管炎和肝炎。在民族医学应用的基础上,本文对利用先进技术研究发现的ASG和ASR的植物化学成分、各自在亚洲不同民族中的传统应用及其已建立的药理特性进行了综述和整合。本研究的所有信息均通过ScienceDirect、Scopus、PubMed、Google Scholar等研究数据库进行文献检索,检索关键词为Alternanthera sessilis、Alternanthera sessilis red、dwarf copperleaf、essessile joyweed。对每项研究的结果进行回顾,以确定其相关性和正在研究的品种。我们收集了所有相关研究,并对其后续结果进行了报告和讨论,以提供对ASG和ASR的健康促进质量的见解。两种品种的植物成分均含有多酚、类黄酮、类胡萝卜素、萜烯和生物碱,其中多酚是两种品种的主要化学成分。研究还显示,虽然ASR传统上在中国、马来西亚、新加坡和台湾消费,但在斯里兰卡、印度和印度尼西亚等国家,ASR的本土使用更为普遍。ASG和ASR均具有较强的抗氧化、抗高血糖、抗菌、抗真菌和保护肝脏的作用,而只有ASG具有抗炎、抗癌和镇痛的作用。建议进一步加工和商业化这种治疗杂草,作为一种有益于人类健康的产品,因为无叶莲子作为一种治疗剂具有很高的潜力,同时也是一种重要的成分,可以包括在日常消费中。关键词:无柄参,矮铜叶,药理性质,植物成分,无柄参
